Hitha.
24 September – 6 October. Painterly skies. Overcast days make for the softest portraits.
Rain returns for a spell; the seas rise. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Hitha for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.
For photographs: painterly skies. Overcast days make for the softest portraits. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
